  • Patent number: 10312235
    Abstract: A fin shaped structure and a method of forming the same. The method includes providing a substrate having a first fin structure and a second fin structure. Next, an insulation material layer is formed on the substrate. Then, a portion of the first fin structure is removed, to form a first recess. Following this, a first buffer layer and a first channel layer are formed sequentially in the first recess. Next, a portion of the second fin structure is removed, to form a second recess. Then, a second buffer layer and a second channel layer are formed in the second recess sequentially, wherein the second buffer layer is different from the first buffer layer.

  • Publication number: 20060284272
    Abstract: The present gate structure comprises a gate oxide layer positioned on a substrate, a conductive stack positioned on the gate oxide layer, a passivation layer positioned on the sidewall of the conductive stack, and a cap layer positioned on the conductive stack. The conductive stack includes a polysilicon layer, a tungsten nitride layer, and a tungsten layer. The passivation layer can be made of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride. The present method for preparing the gate structure comprises steps of forming a gate oxide layer, a conductive stack, and a cap layer on a semiconductor substrate in sequence, removing a portion of the gate oxide layer, the conductive stack, and the cap layer to form at least one opening, implanting silicon ions into the sidewall of the conductive stack, and performing a thermal treating process to transform the sidewall with silicon ions into a passivation layer.

  • Patent number: 4855736
    Abstract: A parking sensor having a base for attaching to a vehicle, a flexible probe for contacting an impending obstruction, a contact for producing an electrical signal responsive to deflection of the probe, a lamp, buzzer, or other transducer for indicating the electrical signal, and a filter for preventing operation of the transducer during spurious occurrences of the electrical signal. The filter can include a timer for activating the transducer when the electrical signal continues beyond a first interval, which can be from 0.05 to 1.0 second. Also, the timer prevents activation of the transducer beyond a second, longer interval that is typically 10 to 40 seconds for terminating the indication (and power drain) when further corrective action by an operator of the vehicle is unlikely.
